Jennifer Diane Taylor (Dee Dee), 33

Jennifer Diane Taylor (Dee Dee), 33, passed away on Feb. 25, 2013, in Coeur d’Alene.

Jen grew up in Chino Hills, Calif. She attended private school during her primary education, graduating from Ayala High School and continuing at Bryman College to obtain a diploma as a medical assistant. She made many good friends and was loved by all who met her, even for the first time. As an advocate for the weak or needy person she became a go-to person. This fact can be seen by her care of abandoned animals and friends in need. It seemed there was always an extra plate at their table for someone in need.

Unfortunately she was burdened at a very young age with cardiomyopathy. Now she is in heaven in the arms of the lord surrounded by her mother, grandmother, grandfather, her beloved pets and other friends who got there before her. Never again will she know sickness or pain. She will remain in perfect health and beauty forevermore. We miss her so much. She wanted all of you to know she is with her lord.

She is preceded in death by her mom, Nancy; her pugs (kids), Bubba, Pippy, Kaylee, Taylor and Angel; grandmother Billy; grandfather Jack and grandma Taylor.

She is survived by her husband, Chuck; stepson Zach; pugs (kids), Luna, Bumble bee and Gilligan; her father, Steve; brother Matthew; sister-in-law Kimberly; nieces, Brooke and Nancy Jane; nephews, Brayden and Brodie; stepmom Trish; stepsisters, Amanda and Vanessa; and numerous aunts and uncles (she loved you all).

The family would like to have a memorial service as a celebration of life later this year in the warmth of June near her 34th birthday. These are her wishes. The date will be posted on Facebook closer to the time. We would love to see you all there.

If any of your friends have a need, remember Jennifer's favorite song “I'll Stand By You.”
